I know it hurts sometimes but you just gotta take a step
Ain't no one gonna hear ya havin' pity on yourself
If he hurts you three times don't go signin' up for four
I know you're tired of being the poster girl for the woman's scorn
When the pain is shame that the family gave you from the start
Don't let the pain change the goodness of your heart
Try again, trust again, you'll live again
Tell me are you listenin'

:chorus:
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just can't carry that load (you just can't carry the load)
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just so your heart can be free again
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just can't carry that load (you just can't carry the load)
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just so your soul is at peace again (give it to god)

I don't think we understand why we gotta go through
Distracted by people, things and money but was has it done for you
And if you love yourself as much as you loved him
You'd have so much more in your heart and your soul to give
If you need a place to find yourself whole again
The door is open why don't you come on in
Just take a look around you; just know that love surround you
You can put it all behind you

:chorus:
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just can't carry that load (you just can't carry the load)
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just so your heart can be clean` again
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just can't carry that load (you just can't carry the load)
You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
Just so your soul is at peace again (give it to god)

God will handle it, oh
(god will handle it, well)
